I have exactly the same problem with my ASRock beebox with Intel 600p NVMe SSD. everytime I found its SSD "0-byte" and I was forced to reboot esxi.

You can look at all your storage device by use SSH on the ESXi host.
#esxcli storage core device list
Thank you,

I doubt if it is "nvme" driver bug.

ivanyeung510 Sep 13, 2017 7:53 PM (in response to Jixe)i have the same problem too.
when it comes to a large data copy from nvme to hdd .it just drop the partition and reboot will fix it.
i wonder if the nvme is overheating cause partition drop?

dangbry1978 Oct 1, 2017 4:01 PM (in response to Jixe)Hi,
I am having the exact same issue as well with the Intel 600P and ESXi 6.5 U1 running on a SuperMicro SYS-5028D-TN4T. It seems to be working fine until I try and provision a VM and then I get an error message that connection to the Datastore has been lost. I have updated to the latest Intel 600P firmware, I get the output for esxcli storage core device list as follows:

6. Re: ESXi drops / loses VMFS-partition
ivanyeung510 Oct 1, 2017 9:40 PM (in response to dangbry1978)my problem is fixed after attached a small heatsink on the controller
i suggest that you better check your temperature by running following command:
esxcli storage core device list | grep ' Display Name:' | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1 | while read DISK
do
echo "********** $DISK **********"
esxcli storage core device smart get -d $DISK
done

7. Re: ESXi drops / loses VMFS-partition
dangbry1978 Oct 2, 2017 3:32 PM (in response to ivanyeung510)Thanks ivanyeung510,
It is definitely a heat related issue. I had the fan setting set to Optimal speed and I have had to put it on full speed to keep the drive working which unfortunately is significantly noiser. It looks like I will need to add a heatsink myself to allow for the quieter fan.
I ran the command that you provided and the heat when I started to have issues was only 45 degrees which surprised me, I thought it would have had a higher threshold before I started to see the issues.
